Soft Clutch Pedal on 1999 Saturn

Asked by GuruCHYYQ Feb 21, 2019 at 03:40 PM about the 1999 Saturn S-Series 4 Dr SL2 Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

This car has had shifting problems for eight years. Shifting into low or other gears when stopped. Not all the time but a lot of the times. Rolling up to a stop sign there is no trouble shifting into low. A mechanic said the clutch was going out. I have had manual transmissions before and a bad clutch doesn't last eight years. I put in a new slave cylinder last year but didn't change anything. But now the clutch peddle fells soft when I step on the clutch. I would like to ask what causes the clutch peddle to be soft? Is it the clutch? Did the new slave cylinder go bad? What do you think the problem is?

Thank you

Step 1. Bleed the system again. Any air in the system will make the pedal soft and not fully engage the clutch. Step 2. Replace the clutch master cylinder and make sure there is no air in the system. Adjust the clutch as necessary.
